Enabling the Full Power of a Multiprocessor SoC
summary
Claims a commercial multi-core framework (Mentor) implements OpenAMP lifecycle via remoteproc and RPMsg, co-authored with Xilinx in 2015, and ships a certified variant that adds contamination blockers for safety islands. Supports SMP, AMP, hypervisor-supervised and hybrid mixes, two Linux flavors (Yocto, Debian), Nucleus RTOS safety build, and hardware zone-of-trust firewalls. Example deployments show six OS instances on one SoC, solve CAN boot‑time ordering, and cut costly certification scope (quoted ~$65 per line saved).
